[buug] Re: DNS Server and Apache on same machine

[Jarell Douville]

Bind was 8.3.7-REL but I'm updating to 9 now. I fixed
the @ problem and ")" problem in the mpflea.net zone
file and now it starts up fine with no error's in the
log/messages file.

Shouldn't I be able to type ns1.mpflea.com in to the
url box and get some good response?
